So PAMF is all I can get for docs given my location and insurance (Aetna - no choice there either)…read more I have had dr coulson in Scott's valley as my PCP for over a decade, I think, since he replace dr conroy. Over the years. I have come to detest more things about PAMF than I benefit from. But my aetna insurance limits me to be pamf. I am 63 and spend about 15k a year for my insurance. 10k premiums and 5k deductible. PAMF has lots of specialists but getting to see one is nearly impossible because... 1) Dr coulson has to see me first and he always makes me wait a few visits with him before granting a referral. 2) if I have not reached my $5k deductible with Aetna, visits to PAMF can run $450 per. This rules out visits for many things I really need help with. Especially mental health... For $450, I will be fine. Except I am not. 3. The specialists wind up referring me to other specialists because they get the diagnosis wrong. I was scheduled for a hip replacement and the week before, they cancelled it because my insurance looked at the X-rays and said yeah that's bad but not that bad. Well it turns out I have sciatica. I cannot describe the pain I have been living with for over a year as PAMF refers and refers and refers. I had trigeminal neuralgia a few years ago. It took me years and many visits to convince the PAMF team to refer me to Stanford. Stanford found the location of my headaches right away and fixed them with only minor brain surgery. I should not have had to wait so long. The same thing happened to me husband, only he has a problem with his pancreas. He wound up at Stanford as well. I am now awaiting my visit to a spine doctor my PCP referred me to. That not until March 9. Meanwhile I have had to go to empowering hands for a leg massage and to five branches for acupuncture. Five Branches is great and cheap. Jake at empowering hands is wonderful but pricey. Still less costly than my insurance co pay.

Dr. Telfer has a rare mix of people and medical skills…read more I have never met a doctor with such excellent communication skills and compassion. Dr. Telfer makes it a priority to carefully listen to me, answer all my questions (even when the appointment is running long), and tailors his treatment plan to my lifestyle. He works hard to ensure I understand my condition and am comfortable with the treatment plan. (As a result, I my wait in the waiting room may be longer than desired, but the trade off is that Dr. Telfer will spend a fair share of time answering all my questions once my office visit begins.) He makes good use of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF), online patient messaging system to answer follow-up questions, sometimes even saving me from seeing him in person for an office visit. He will refer you out to a specialist and consult with his colleagues within the PAMF, as necessary. I have only good things to say about Dr. Telfer.

I am 50 years old and had a lot of complicated issues; I was a mess and didn't take care of myself back then. With Dr. Baldwin's support I was able to look at the whole picture and realize that I needed to take charge of my physical wellbeing. She is the most caring physician I've ever had and she took the time to examine the underlining issues that were the root of my illnesses. I never felt rushed, uninformed and always left with a plan and next steps. There were times when I was not doing well that she called me over the weekend to see if I was okay.

I'd like people to know that the staff he has now (and has had for at least the past 2 or 3 years) are exceptional and extremely professional. Wait times which used to be ridiculous are now extremely reasonable. The office seems cleaner and more welcoming and the furniture is coordinated and comfortable.
